Roast Chicken And Potatoes

Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by Rob Connor in High Protein Meals

This is a great and simple protein packed meal that comes with a hefty serving of starchy carbs – one to avoid of you’re dieting – if not then enjoy!

I find this recipe’s simplicity and usefulness a big plus, along with the fact that it doesn’t take much time to prepare. It is a solid muscle building recipe that will help you pack on weight. A good choice for post workout dinners, or heavy lunches (leave yourself a good 3 hours before training).

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces of skinless chicken breasts
• 250ml of corn (roughly equivalent to one cup)
• 2 tablespoons of Mrs. Dash Lemon
• Herb seasoning
• 2 large potatoes
• Ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon of rosemary

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Wash and place the chicken breasts on an oven safe baking dish. Sprinkle the Mrs. Dash lemon on each side of the chicken at this time.
3. Set the oven timer for 45 minutes and place the chicken in the oven.
4. Wash and skin the potatoes. Cut them into cubes and place them inside a plastic bag.
5. Add oil and the spices to the potato cubes and toss them to allow full coating.
6. Place the potato cubes in a separate baking dish and place in the oven beside the chicken for 20-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
7. Cook the corn according to packaging instructions and serve with the chicken and potatoes.

You can also try adding other herbs to the recipe, specifically to the chicken to bring out stronger flavors.
